Limiting off road use has gained lots of political support where new housing developments are encroaching on one time remote desert and mountain areas. The new rules, after nearly two years of debate and hearings will limit riding times and the number of vehicles that owners can ride on their own property. The version approved will allow off roaders to ride between the hours of noon and five pm on private property. It also places a limit of one off road vehicle in use per 10 acres and requires riders to stay 100 feet from property lines and 250 feet from neighbor's homes. They can ride more vehicles on their property with their neighbor's written consent, but you will need a conditional use permit for more than four vehicles, costing as much as $10,000. San Bernardino county is considering following in Riverside county's footsteps in the near future. SAN FELIPE FACTS & FIGURES -There was a total of 362 vehicles entered at the SCORE San Felipe race. They came from 20 states, Canada, Colombia, England and Mexico. The entry was: Pro Truck, 26, Class 1, 38, Class 1600, 43, Class 3, 3, Class 5, 5, Class 5/1600, 11, Class 7, 7, Class 7S, 4, Class 7SX, 9, Class 8, 11, Class 9, 5, Class 10, 19, SCORE Lite, 24, Class 11, 1, Stock Full, 6, Stock Mini, 2, ProTruck, 4, Class 17, 1, Sportsman Car, 4, and Sportsman Truck, 8. There were 76 motorcycles entered, 52 ATVs and 3 Sporrsman Rhinos. 37% of the cars and trucks failed to make it to the finish line. 0 UR BOYS IN NASCAR -Jimmy Johnson has been having a phenomenal year, nothing bur wins and top 5 finishes, Robby Gordon's ream is doing very well also, decent finishes in every race but one and doing well in the points.

11&"1.9~1.II SAN FELIPE 250 Cadiente Wins overall By Judy Smith Photos: Trackside Photo Gaffon Cadiente drove his husky looking Ford to the Trophy Truck win at San Felipe, he also was the overall winner at race end. SAN FELIPE, BAJA: Newcomer Garron Cadiente surprised every-one except himself by winning SCORE's San Felipe 250 overall in his Ford Trophy Truck. Behind him, a huge entry powered their way through the mud and rain that made this a very difficult San Fe-lipe 250. Following the precedent set by the record number of entries at Laughlin, the San Felipe race also enjoyed a huge entry, with a total of 340 starters, 193 of which were cars and trucks. This was the big-gest San Felipe event in the 20 years the race has existed. The first San Felipe 250 was actually in 1982, 24 years ago, but there was a gap from '85 through '89 when it didn't hap-pen. The Friday pre-race activities were much the same as they'd been in the past, except that driver/rider registration was held in the Bare-foot Bar, right on the beach, within walking distance of the contingency line. This was a good thing, because with so many race teams in town, things were at a virtual standstill in the streets adjacent to the beach, and the only way to move around unimpeded by traffic jams was ei-ther to walk or scoot through the narrow spaces in a golf cart. This year's course was the same as last year's, starting and finishing in San Felipe at the familiar arches, and running in a counter-clockwise direction, as far north as Highway 3 on the far end of Diablo Dry Lake, then southward through Morelia Junction and along Morelia Road, then east in The big prize in Class 1/2-1600 went to Adam Pfankuch, he's seen here flying toward that wonderful checkered flag. Huatamote Wash, south on the old Puertecitos Road, west in Chanate Wash, a short stretch south, and each in Matomi Wash, before hit-ting the old road again and head-ing north. Then it skirted the old road, and at Mile 232 crossed it, for the final eight mile dash to the finish. Everyone had ten hours to get to the finish line. The course has been used a lot lately, including in the 2005 Baja 1000, and it was very rough. There hadn't been much rain over the winter to smooth it, and then Mother Na-ture tried to correct that error all on race day. Light showers started right at daybreak, and some racers, coming in from outlying camps, re-ported heavy rain and even hail as they motored in towards the start. Clouds seemed to pile up towards the west, and then a steady light rain settled in at about the time the Trophy Trucks started - 9 a.m. All the cars and trucks started one-at-a-time, 30 seconds apart. This meant that it took an hour and 37 minutes to get all the cars started, and before they were all gone, two of the bike teams had al-ready finished. In fact, SCORE of-ficials held up the start of the 1/2-1600 cars in the middle of their line-up, for roughly eight minutes, to allow the lead bikes to come in untroubled by outgoing traffic. There were 24 Trophy Trucks, but only 20 of them got to the half-way mark. Jesse Jones, Pete Sohren and Gus Vildosola were out, and Nick Baldwin ran into something with his Ford, folded the bumper Troy Herbst had a good race, he took the Class 1 win and he was less than five minutes out of the overall prize. in under the truck and holed the oil pan, putting his truck out also. At just past the halfway point, or Mile 131, the lead belonged to B.J. Baldwin in his new Chevy. Cadiente ran second, about a minute and a half later, and Bob Sheperd was third in his Chevy. Curt LeDuc had Mark Post's Ford in fourth place, and Bobby Bald-win (B.J.'s dad) was fifth in another Chevrolet. Meanwhile, Carl Renezeder, Chevrolet, had lost a transmission at Mile 6, and it had done lots of "collateral damage", costing him an hour and 45 minutes. He was back in a lot of slower traffic by the time things were repaired. Mike Julson was still having "new truck" stuff with his Chevrolet, and at Mile 30 was pouring water on his shocks to cool them down. And Andy Mc-Millin, in the Robby Gordon Chev-rolet, lost his transmission at Mile 20. The pit truck came out with Robby's spare, or so they thought, only to discover when they arrived that the spare had been stolen over-night. So they sent for McMillin's truck, which was at Morelia, and which had Andy's spare trans in it. When it got there a lot of things were different. They had to deal with mismatched plumbing and that sort of thing, so it took four and a half hours to do the replacement. At the front of the pack Cadiente and Baldwin were really close. Cadiente felt the "course was really rough", but he'd pre-run re-ally well, and "knew where to go." Baldwin had "no dust all the way" thanks to the rain, and had only one flat. He reported that the team had done a "lot of shock work" af-ter the Laughlin race (which he won). Baldwin actually finished first, but Cadiente was right behind him, and took the win by a minute and 37 seconds. He said, "I think we've proved we're the real deal, we're running with the big guys." He was referring to the fact that he'd been considered a raw new-comer at this event, and not likely to do particularly well. What some folks hadn't realized was that, first of all, his truck was the tried-and-true Ford that Gary Dircks used to race with a good deal of success, and second, Cadiente had raced it in the BITD series in 2005. So he wasn't as green as they'd assumed. He's also, apparently, a real driver. In third behind Baldwin was Bob Shepard, who soloed also, and re-ported "a few little problems" in his Chevy. He'd gone off the trail to pass a quad and bent his drive shaft, so then he had to drive about 30 miles at only 50 miles per hour, until he could get it changed. He also had a couple of flats, and said he enjoyed a "good race" with the McMillin and Ewalt Class 1 car. In fourth it was Ron Whitton, father-in-law of Cadiente. When Cadiente says "we", he's including Whitton in his statement. This truck, also a Ford, was new at Laughlin. Whitton said he was nervous about this race -"all the best people were here." So he just "took it easy". He reported that the course got really "slimy out there", and then aid, "I had a great time." Mark Post and Curt LeDuc were fifth in _their Ford, noting that they'd done the last 25 miles with nothing but first gear. Sixth went to Kory Scheeler in a Chevy, who said it was "the most miserable day I've ever had." He'd broken a front limiter strap at Mile 18, had it welded, and broken it again. In sev-enth it was Jerry Larimore and Buff Herman in a Ford, ATV racers a long time ago, racing their Trophy Truck for the first time. The truck was brand new, built by Herman, who finished it on Tuesday before the race. They said their race was "a dream". Scott Steinberger, Ford, was eighth, talking about the truck falling off the jack when he had to fix a flat in Matomi Wash. Then an engine warning light came on, indicating a problem with water temps. So he pulled his water pump, but wouldn't have had to, because it was o.k., as he discovered after wasting 45 minutes. Bobby Baldwin was ninth, after an event-ful day in his Chevy. First, his pas-senger, Ray Brown, somehow hurt Eric Solorzano was the only entrant in Class 11 but he hustled BJ Baldwin gave it all he had but he came up a spot short in Trophy Gary Weyhrich made a run at the win in Class 1 but he fell short by• around to take his checkered flag at San Felipe.

Don Moss had a fairly easy day. all of his competition fell by the wayside and he drove his good looking Ford to the Class 3 win. The Class 5 win went to Pietro Brassea, he took the checkers with 24 minutes in hand, seen here at takeoff. · Steve Me ton, in t eir Jimco C evy, and in tenth it was Todd Cuffaro, who sheared some studs and ended up in a tree about 30 miles before the finish. His Chevy Por-ter had no radio, and he lost some time, but was still happy with his first finish at San Felipe. Michael and Kevin James were 11th in their Jimco Chevy, having one flat after the out-of-gas incident. Luis Ramirez, Sr. and Luis Jr. drove their Porter Chevy to 12th place. Luis, Jr. finished with his brakes smoking, because his throttle was sticking so badly he was having to work the brakes hard. Horta, af-ter the roll-over at Mile 62 got to the finish line in 13th place, and Pat Dean, whp'd been second for a while, said he'd "had a great day going, and broke two axle". He broke them one at a time, had a spare with him each time, but lost a half hour each time to finish 14th. Brian Kirby and Bobby Ouelleto, in their Kirby, had to weld their front beam back on, and finished 15th. Raymond Potter, in his Homebuilt, had two flats and broke a tie rod and got to the fin-ish line 16th, while Buddy Feld-kamp was 17th in his Penhall. In 18th it was Daniel Myers in a Por-ter Chevy. His battery box broke and he lost both batteries, a very time consuming problem. Nine-teenth went to Brian Parkhouse, who was nine hours and eight min-utes on the road in his Jimco during his segment, and his chase crew had unstuck him. Now he handed over to Larry Roeseler, who was determined to make up the defi-cit. At Mile 160 the lead belonged to Mark McMillin, with Mark Wey-hrich only a minute behind him. Roeseler was third. At Mile 228 McMillin still led, and now Roeseler was second by just a minute. From about Mile 200 to the finish line, he really pushed hard. At the finish he said, "If that buggy can go as fast as this Truggy did from the 200 mile marker, I'll eat my shorts! I was more sideways than straightaway". He then declared that he'd been running a "good solid pace - I hit all my marks". At Mile 228 there was a tie for fourth between Mark Weyhrich and his brother, Gary, who'd lost a cylinder going up Cha-nate, and ran on seven the rest of the way. They were only five min-utes behind Roeseler. Meanwhile, B.J. Richardson rolled in Matomi Wash, tearing off a rear comer, and giving his passenger, T.J. Flores, a hard knock on the head. Flores was airlifted out, sent to the hospital, but released two days later with no serious injuries. Herbst and Roeseler took the win, finishing six minutes in front of Gary Weyhrich, and his wounded car. Roeseler said it had been "really exciting". Weyhrich re-ported that it was "raining bad". He said it had been interesting around Diablo Dry Lake, where it was muddy, and "like being on ice". He also reported that his brother, Mark, had rolled his car two miles before the finish. Mark didn't get to the finish line. Mark McMillin had c.v. problems close to the fin-ish, and was towed a short dis-tance, and pushed or pulled across the finish line by his co-driver, Cameron, apparently taking ad-vantage of the rule that only "banded" folks can push or pull a race car over the line. They finished third. Fourth place went to Danny Anderson who hadn't been feel-ing too hopeful in the morning. He said he's running in Class 1 on a 1600 budget. At the finish he said about his Jimco Chevy that he "didn't have the set up right" and hadn't spent enough time test-ing. There are, he said, "some big bumps here". Martin Christensen and Dave Mason were fifth in their BMW Jimco, reporting no prob-lems and no flats, just "really, re-ally wet". In sixth it was Richard and Dennis Boyle in Ron Brant's Jimco Chevy. They were happy to have got to i:he race. On Thurs-day, their race prep guy -Damen Jefferies, had done one last quick run down the road near his shop before loading Richard's car, and something had bound up in the steering and sent the car over and over. Darnen had been spit out, and then the car flew above him Ernesto Arambula had six minutes in hand when he took the Class 5-1600 win at San Felipe, seen here in his good looking bug. (not onto him) and beyond. He was sorely bruised, but nothing was broken, although the car was too damaged to repair in time for the race. So Brant pulled out of the race (a move they'd discussed doing even before they heard about the accident), and let the Boyle brothers use his car, all of them hating the idea that they might have to give up their number one start position. Seventh place went to Ronny Wilson whose Chevy Jimco broke a limiter strap, and in eighth it was Randy, who lost some gears near the end of the day, and finished with only fourth gear. Ninth place belonged to John Herder and John Holmes had more than 26 minutes in hand when he drove around for the checkers, he's seen here in his great looking truck. Sigal Greenberg was more than half an hour behind the Class 9 Billy Gasper chased the winner in Class 10 but he had to settle for Ken Stroud was just eight minutes short of the win in SCORE Lite, winner but still racked up a nice second place at San Felipe. the second spot in his really good looking vehicle. he's seen here heading for the Checkered flag.

Larry Vanderwey's brother, Nick, took over for the second half of the race, and he stayed in front. They said they" ran great all day", and used the same tires they'd used in the 1000, again having no flats. It was a "smooth, clean day." Greer, who drove all the way, took Page 12 second; reporting that he'd had tire trouble, and had been break-ing wheels. He was over two hours down to the Vanderweys. Ostanik, who also drove all, said he'd had an "awesome day" after his early problem. His only other trouble was a flat about 3/4 of a mile be-fore the finish line. He was a half hour behind Greer.

In second place it was Luivan Voelker and Carlos Albanez, in the New Beetle style car. They were only 11 min-utes back. Lopez rolled the lead car, and landed on his roof, but there was help there in two or three minutes, and he was quickly set back on his wheels. He and Brassea went on to take the win by 25 minutes. This was their first SCORE race, but they've been competing in the CODE series for a while, and were familiar with the territory. Alpanez and Voelker reported just one flat to slow them down on their way to second. The Class 7 trucks were next to start, with six entries. All but one of them got to the halfway point, and the drop out was A.J. Rodri-guez. Victor Herrera Sr., in a Fora, had. the lead there, with 11 min-utes on Scott Brady, in another, Ford. David Binns, still another Ford, was third, two minutes later, and then Dan Chamlee came along, about a half hour down, in yet another Ford. Barry Karakas, with a new paint job, had some big problem, and was nearly three hours off the pace in his Toyota. Victor Jr. got in to drive to the finish and he got stuck for about five minutes before Chanate. He also had a rear flat about ten miles before the finish line, and a friendly Negrete pit crew helped him change it quickly. The Herreras took the win, finishing just 16 minutes in front of second place. That was Brady, who drove all the way. He reported just one flat along the road to the finish line. In third it was Binns, who also drove all the way, and while he'd been close at the half way point, he'd run out of fuel and it was an hour and a half before he got go-ing again. He'd also had a couple of flats. Chamlee was 29 minutes behind him in fourth, and he was the last finisher. Karakas didn't make it. Class 7S started next, with just four entries. Tyler Fox and his Ford were gone before Mile 61, and Bill Rodriguez and Jesus Luna, also in a Ford, dropped out be-fore Mile 134. That left Nick and Ted Moncure in front in their Toyota, leading by almost two hours. Mike Horner, in another Toyota, had broken a ball joint at Mile 50 and used up two hours making repairs. After that he'd had no trouble, and when he went through Matomi he passed the Moncures who were having some Dusty Times

Page 15

II kind of mechanical problems. Horner, and co-driver, Chuck Forman, went on to take the win, saying they'd lost their rear brakes, but merely pinched them off and had no· problems in the latter parts of the race. They were just 12 minutes ahead of the Moncures, who finished second, only four minutes before their cut off time. In Class 7SX, which started next, there were eight trucks. Dan Street was out uncharacteristically early, before Mile 61. Then Heidi Steele rolled her Ford before Mile 134. It reportedly went over three and a half times, and that was the end of her day. Jesse Rodriguez was also out before Check 2. At the front of the pack it was Aaron Dodson, in the old "Little Mac" Chevy, with a nine minute lead on Mark Landersman in John Holmes' Ford. Rich Severson, in another Ford, ran third, about 20 minutes later. Holmes drove the second half, while Landersman rode. They had some fuel delivery problems, which they called "weird", but no flats. Said Holmes, "I haven't had a flat in years." They took the win by 28 minutes. Dodson and driving part-ner, Doug Siewert, were second. Their transmission had been over-heating and they'd had to stop ev-ery ten or 15 miles to let it cool. They'd also had two flats, the first they'd had on that truck. In third it was Severson, who said it was the "best race in the last three years." He'd had a little rain, but no real complaints. He said he'd been beaten by "superior vehicles". Noe and Tony Sierra, in another Ford, were fourth, apparently hav-ing lost an hour early in the day with a problem. And Jeff Lloyd, still another Ford, had been close to the lead group, but lost a lot of time in the second half of the race. He brought his Ford home just 45 minutes before cutoff time. The 5-1600 cars went off the line next. They didn't show .up in the numbers SCORE had ex-pected. There were only nine en-tries. Two of them were gone be-fore Mile 61, and another dropped out before Mile 134, leaving just six players. At the midway point the lead belonged to Ernesto Arambula, while Marcos Nunez ran second, only two minutes be-hind him. In third it was Brent Shermak, another 13 minutes back. James Tedford was fourth. Arambula held his lead all the way to the end, stopping for noth-ing except to "change the co-pilot". He said he'd had "rain and a lot of mud". The course was slippery for him, and he'd had some trouble with mud on his visor, but no mechanical issues cropped up. Behind him, Norberto Rivera, Nunez's partner, brought their car home in second place, still only six minutes back. He didn't stop to talk. In third it was Shermak, about 45 minutes later, saying it had been a "tough day". He'd had something wrong with either the transmission or a c.v. for the final 40 miles, but it held together long enough for the finish. James Tedford and his driving partner,. Greg Ferruzzo, were fourth. Ferruzzo had had to deal with an electrical fire in the front of the car, but luckily his fire extinguisher had been enough to put it out. Tedford hadn't had any problems during his stint. They were 40 min-utes behind Shermak. In fifth place it was Chad and Gen Mayer-Dusty Times Gus Vildosola shows off his suspension travel at San Felipe, he took the Pro Truck win with 20 minutes in hand at the flag. nick, another hour down, and the last in the class to get to the finish. The Stock Full trucks took to the wilds of Baja next, with five en-tries. Chris Kasper and his Hum-mer were out before halfway, but the other four carried on. Mark Handley had his Ford at that point, not having any problems thus far. John Griffin, in another Hummer, had air in a fuel line, and the race car would quit running.; He was about an hour off the pace. Two hours later it was Bob Graham in his Nissan, having some problem or another. And in fourth it was Terry and Eric Henn, in another Hummer. Someone had rear ended them and they'd become locked together, and apparently lost over an hour getting untangled. At the finish it was Handley, who stopped only for fuel, in first place. The most significant part of his trip was seeing a beautiful rain-bow out over the Sea of Cortez as he started down Matomi Wash. He said its end was at the finish line. Griffin finished second, an hour later, and Graham came across the line, but was ten minutes over time, and thus, a DNF. The Stock Mini class consisted of two entries, the Honda Ridgeline of Gavin Skilton and Steve Kovach and Dan Werle in a Ford Ranger. Both got to Check 1, at Mile 61, and at that point Kovach and Werle had a 15 minute lead. But after that they both disappeared, giving the Stock Mini class no finishers. Class 9 had four starters, and they all got through the first half of the race. Renee Valenzuela had Sigal Greenberg's new Safari Chal-lenger in the lead at the midway point, but only by a minute and 25 seconds. In second it was Eric Fisher, whose Garibay had already had its share of problems. He'd had carburetor trouble at Mile 10, which cost him 20 minutes, and then at Check 1 he'd had to change two spark plug wires. But it was running alright at the halfway point. Ramon Castro was third, about 50 minutes later, and in fourth it was Joe and Joshua Castrey, another 50 minutes back. In stayed close between the two lead teams, which have enjoyed a lot of close racing for the past year or so. Fisher held his lead, but Greenberg, who was driving the sec-ond half, had him in her sights. For the last 60 miles Fisher had only second gear because his trans-miss ion case was broken. Greenberg was slowly catching him, enjoying her new car. But then she ran out of gas practically in sight of the finish line. While her crew hustled to take her some, Fisher took the win. Greenberg fi-nally made it in about 40 minutes later, and an hour after that they Castrey team crossed the line, mak-ing it in with just 17 minutes to spare, for third place. Castro was the only non-finisher in the class. Class 3 was next off the line, with three starters . .Chris Raffo, who comes further than most to race here, went the shortest dis-tance, and was out in the first 60 miles, his Blazer succumbing to unknown ills. That left just the Moss brothers, Don and Ken and their Bronco, to do battle with Ken Leavitt, in another Bronco. At Check 1 the Moss team was about 50 minutes in front of Leavitt, and then he didn't make it to the halfway point. Don Moss, who'd started, handed over to Ken at that point and he sailed on home, having "no problems at all." Their string of Class 3 wins at San Felipe started in 2002. Class 17, the J eepSpeed group, had only one entry, Bob Land in his Jeep, and he broke before Check 1. In the Sportsman Buggy Group -or perhaps it's the Sportsman Car class -there were four starters, and George Jackson and his J imco, a local team from Calexico, was ou~ Steve Looney took the Sportsman Truck win, he had more than an hour in hand when his Ford crossed the finish line.

That left Lloyd Kruse in Tony McLaren's Type IV powered Chenowth pre-runner out in front at the halfway point. McLaren usually races Class 1000 in the BITD series, but had decided to give Baja a try. In sec-ond it was Les Martin, a half hour off the pace. Peter Lange was an-other 45 minutes back in third. McLaren took over at the mid-way point and had a flawless run to the finish. He and Kruse took the win by an hour. Martin was second, and Lange was third, al-most another hour down. The "Sportsman" Buggies had a 7 5% finish ratio. The Sportsman Trucks had eight starters, and lost one before Mile 61. The rest all made it to the half way point, and Michael Ballard was in the lead in a Ford there. He had six minutes on Matt Torian, in a Ford, who was racing in his first Baja race, although he's been com-peting in the Southern California desert for a while. Richard Blunk, in another Ford, was third, another half hour back. And then it was Mark Growe, still another Ford, perennial champion in this class, having some electrical problems. At the finish it was Steven Looney, driving partner of Ballard. They both stayed in the truck all the way, simply switching seats. This was their _first ~~!l f~Hpe race (they've been racing MDR) and they had a little trouble with the water, but no mechanical problems. They said, "It's a long way around!" In second it was Blunk, an hour and 20 minutes behind the winning truck. And Torian dropped to third. He'd had a flat at Mile 210 and cracked the rim. Then his jack broke, and he lost a half hour. He'd also lost a fuel pump and a trans-mission shifter cable, so he did his last 20 miles in second gear. He was only seven minutes behind second place. Growe, whose son Keith, did the second half (they switched seats), continued to have trouble with the electrics. They blew a bunch of fuses, and had to drive in the dark with stock headlights only. They were 40 minutes out of third, and the final finishers in the class. Class 11 was next off the line, and only Eric Solorzano came to test his skills. He drove the entire distance himself, and said his big-gest problem was the rain. He couldn't see. He said the rain was "very obstructive." At one point he was lost for ten minutes, then had to drive ten minutes back to the course. He'd followed the wrong tracks apparently. He'd had no flats, the car ran great and he had no mechanical trouble. But he has no windshield, and it was very cold out there. He finished in nine hours and 53 minutes, just seven minutes shy of the cut off time. A new group of racers came to San Felipe for the first time: the Sportsman Rhinos. They were to run the entire course, in the same time as everyone else. None of them made it within the time limit, but Cory Sappington did get all the way around. He said, "It's as rough as everybody says. It's the roughest, nastiest course I've ever been on." He had one flat tire and no other problems. But, of course, his jack didn't work. They simply lifted the Rhino to make the tire change. The report was that Joe Moore and Chris Olman, in another Yamaha, had nailed a boulder and torn up their front end. And Jeff.Sann and Travis Brookshire (who has raced here before) lost a rear trailing arm. The San Felipe 250 followed in the footsteps of the Laughlin event, with a huge entry, seem-ingly indicating a big year ahead for SCORE racing. Their next event will be the Baja 500, the first weekend in June, and then they'll go to Las Vegas for their non-points short course event. After that it's Primm, and then, in November, a jaunt down the length of the peninsula, with the Baja 1000 to La Paz. SCIIE The winner in Sportsman Buggy was Tony McLaren, he took the win easily at San Felipe, he's seen here in his neat looking car. Page 15

Daniel Sardo with Marc Marti on board drove to his best WRC finish ever in Spain, he was second overall, 48 seconds out of the win. Marcus Granholm and Timo Rautiainen took third place honors in Spain in their Ford Focus, seen here with an ancient backdrop. gling with his pacenotes. Panizzi was troubled by soft suspension on his Skoda and then he had to stop and help clear the road when Jari-Matti Latvala hit a bridge. Just when it seemed that Gronholm was enjoying his lead (9 .3 seconds) both he and his teammate Hirvonen had turbo troubles, at virtually the same place on Stage 5 and with identical symp-toms. Gronholm explained that the problem started with poor response on acceleration at low revs, then sud-denly all boost was lost: exactly the same for Hirvonen. At service it was found• that both cars suffered wastegate failure. The once proud Gronholm was now 10th, over 2m30s behind Loeb: Hirvonen was 14th over five minutes behind the leader. Sud-denly Citroen were running 1-2-3. Sordo (who was complaining about understeering) was lying second, nearly a half minute behind the leader, while Loeb's official teammate Pons (who had a strange problem with the dy-namic balance of the car on the first stage), was just over a further half minute behind. None of them had been.running perfectly, but that didn't seem to matter!

Leg 1 6 Stages, asphalt, 137.25kms. At the start 66 drivers crossed the start ramp including 14 JWRC com-petitors. Brakes were the story of the first part of the rally. "The pedal went down to the floor," said Sebastien Loeb, whose problems began after only three kilometres of the first stage. The stage was drier and warmer than most had expected. Francois Duval had brake trouble and tyres which were too soft! Manfred Stohl was struggling with a car for which there had been no time for a proper set-up test. A good start was made by the LEAVES OTHERS IN THE DUST.

(NOTE to self: Bu:, new wiper blades.) On the road Friday night to the race it was either wet or wetter, depending on your direc-tion of travel. But somehow in the mist between Hodge Road and Barstow, the rains fell fewer amidst the hydroplaning tor-rents or traffic. Nonetheless, in-termittent drizzling rain and the Barstow BreeZe still made for some blustery conditions at Con-tingency. M.O.R.E. received 170 entries and wound up having 139 race cars start this race. That's a lot of Dusty Times to cover. Race day on Saturday, March 18, 2006, dawned to cloudy skies with a chance of rain in the forecast and temperatures in the 30's, with enough of a breeze to keep the course clear of dust; but that would change as the day wore on. And what a race it would be, too, with over 60 en-tries in Class 9 alone! The fast class.es ( 1, 10, 5 and 16] raced five laps; Classes 13, 5/16 and 9 went for four laps; Classes 7 and 14 dueled it out for two laps. By the afternoon, it started cloud-ing up bad to the east and it wasn't too long before the Bar-stow BreeZe once again had the flags at S/F standing at atten-tion, and the blowing sands of time took on a whole new mean-ing! The course for the M.O.R.E. Camburg/Balls Out 250 was a 50 mile loop of dirt and dust and rocks and sand and holes and road crossings that would test and challenge the endurance of both man and machine. It is 'Barstow', you know. Up and over the hills by the radio tow-ers and down the razor back ridge from h*LL (MM 6-9), through the sand wash and fast stretches by SlashX Cafe (MM 12-18), loop back alongside Stoddard Wells Road to the dry lake (MM 18-22); around the base of the mountains to Inner Hodge (MM 39), then back to the dry lade and Pit D again (MM 45) and skirt the lower el-evations of yet another moun-tain (MM 48) on your way back to MM Start/Finish ... and that is just one lap. Whew! CLASS 1: Twelve Class 1 cars signed up to start, 11 did, and seven fin-ished. Ron Brant started last off The big winner in Class 1 was Ron Brant, he took the lead on the second lap and finished with nine minutes in hand. the line at the green flag in car #101, but blew by the competi-tion by race end to take first place in class in 04:49:26 at 51.8 mph; the Overall winner, too. Brant drove all the laps with co-driver Ben Ryog. Ryog reported "a rough course and a great race riding with a legend. Ron was smooth and it was a lot of fun passing five cars on the first lap". # 101 had no problems all day and only stopped on Lap 3 for some more go-juice. By race end, the trans did have a bit of a fluid leak from a fitting, but it was good enough and strong enough to take Ron Brant and his Chevy LSI-powered Jimco chassis #101 to the winner's circle, again! Larry Roeseler in truck #7202 was next to see the check-ered flag a tad under ten min-utes later, driving his "Class 7 legal" 4.0L V6 powered ORBIT truck to second place in Class 1 in 04:58:57 at 50.2 mph. Roe-seler started in ninth position and flew past all the other rac-ers who had started in front of him on his first lap, taking the fast lap for the class at 53.5 mph in 00:56:07. This is Roeseler's fourth season in the ORBIT rac-ing truck, and he drove Laps 1-3 before handing the driving du-ties over to Jason Ruane. Jason is the son of #7202 owner Mike Ruane, and this was his first time driving the race truck. After get-ting a BIG hug from 'Dad', Ja-son stated he was able to hold his own on "a pretty harsh course" with the help of a "Good truck"; although he also con-fided he had a few close encoun-ters with some big pucker-'trees' on more than one occasion. #7202 was slowed on Lap 2 when they broke a wheel about half way thru the course, but that didn't stop them from hav-ing "a good race" on their way to the checkered flag and second place in Class 1. Rick Wilcoxson brought home the third place win and fin-ish in car # 12 7, completing the required laps in just 5:09:00 flat at 48.5 mph in his L2 Cadillac-powered Jimco chassis ride. Fol-lowing in fourth place in Class 1 six and a half minutes later was Jake Batulis in car #118; finish-ing the race in 05:16:28 at 47.4 mph. Mike Pacewiczh started to-ward the rear of the Class 1 pack at the green flag in car # 13 5, and "ran a good race" in the stock LSI-powered, DunnTech chassis car to finish in fifth place in 5:31:41 at 45.2 mph. A flat tire on Lap 2 cost them 20 minutes to fix, and getting barrel-rolled by a 9 car on Lap 4 didn't help matters much either. And while Pacewizch reported the course was "rough in spots", he was able to "stay on the power in the heavy sand" to bring home a fin-ish and a win. "Getting spun 180 degrees at 70 mph" only added to the fun. Curt Geer worked his way to the front of the Class 1600 pack and happily took the checkered flag for the class win. The winner in Class 11 was Anne Naso, she's seen here getting her tidy looking Jennifer Clemison had a couple of slow laps in the begin-ning but ran some consistent times later to take car #132 to a sixth place finish at 34.5 mph in 07: 15:06.

CLASS 10: A whole bunch of Class 10 cars rolled up for the green flag: 17 starters and six would finish the race. Shane Brown started next to last out of the gate at the green flag, but drove the Brown's Motor sports # 1003 car to vic-tory and a first place finish in just 5:00:07 at 50.0 mph. Brown has been racing for nine years and put the Toyota 1600 DOHC powered #1003 to the test on Lap 2 to also win the fast lap award at 51.2 mph. Brown described the course as "a little rough", but even that and a bro-ken card didn't deter him on his way to a spot in the winner's circle. Warren Messick drove Laps 4 and 5 in car# 1003, and said his most fun of the day was "passing a lot of cars on a fun and rough course". Fun, indeed! Lee Perfect was second to start in car #1010, and he finished in second place for the day com-pleting the required laps in 5:15:28 at 47.5 mph. Ron Har-bottle used to race a Class 7 truck but switched to Class 10 to take third place in only his second race in his new car # 1060, a Toyota 1650 SOHC powered finish. Harbottle drove the entire race and reported a tangle with a Class 5 car and "a rough course" on his way to the third place win in 5:29:02 at 45.6 mph. His most fun of the day was "just finishing". Sounds good enough to me, too; and a win to boot. Brian Walsh Junior and Senior "got hit hard in the rear by a Class 9 car" on their way to a fourth place finish in car #1002; and just a minute and a half behind the third place win-ner, too. Walsh Jr. drove Laps 1-3 and Sr. took the wheel for Laps 4 and 5. Walsh Sr. said the car "handled like *#@*!", and was "all over the place" after get-ting whacked, but they still "had a lot of fun" on their way to the checkered flag in 5:30:27 at 45.4 mph.

~i'19el,ll 5AN FELIPE • 22 YEARS Aco MCMillin And Sons Uber Alles By Jean Calvin Photos: Trackside Photo Scott and Gorky McMillin fought a seesaw battle all day with Mark. The pace of the two Chenowths was such that they won Class 2 and even beat the bikes on time for an absolute first overall. Second in the Score desert series of races, the San Felipe 250 results had a familiar sound. Just like last year, Corey and Scott McMillan won overall car honors in their Porsche powered Chenowth and John Baker beat the Class 8 time while winning Class 7 in his Mitsubishi. But, there were many differences down through the classes; most notable before the fact was the addition of a real mini four wheel class for Odyssey type vehicles, with eight on the starting line - a bigger class in size than ten of the 16 regular car classes. Sad to say none of the minis fin-ished in the 11 hour time al-lowance, although some did cover the entire course. It is always a pleasure to go to San Felipe for the race, even though it seems a long ride to get there.-The e como_li source far ra dCre • Driving Suits • Crew Unifonns • Crew Shirts • Polo Shirts • Team Jackets • Hats • GearBags NOW FEATURING: In-House Embroidery Driver Names • Team Logos • Sponsor Logos town still has a real ambi-ance, and the folks are po-lite as they crowd around the start/finish and seem genuinely friendly to the "crazy gringos" who annu-ally invade their turf late in March.

This year the race activity was strung around town. Registration, scoring and the awards presentation all took place at the race head-quarters, the Motel Riviera, a place that curiously has no food service. A block down the hill the El Cortz Motel hosted tech inspection and the pre and post race im-pound. In between, on a side street, the contingency line was set up on Friday. All functions were within a city block, except the start/fin-ish line, again under the arches on the highway just north of town. The total starting entry was up by five over last year, but the mix was different. There were nine more cars in '84, but 12 fewer bikes. There were six more Odysseys, and the ATCs were up two starters. A s always the bikes we r e first away, and at 8 :25 in the morning Tom Koch in his Raceco was the first car away, followed by 11 other Class ls. It was a long haul across Diablo Dry Lake to the first checkpoint at Mike's Sky Ranch, and Koch t&DE maintained his lead, but only by a minute over Larry Ragland, Chaparral, who was half a minute ahead of Dan Cornwell, Chenowth, who was a minute ahead of Bob Shepard, Raceco, who had a minute on Mike Julson, Jimco. Whew! On they charged to Nuevo Junc-tion, the second check, where Koch still led on the road, but Ragland now tied him on total elapsed time, and Cornwell was close in their dust. Failing to make the first check were bo,th Mike Lund, Chenowth, and Glenn Evans, Chaparral. The next time report came from El Chinero, a long and tough 35 miles from the fin-ish line. By now reports of various classes of cars run-ning out of gas in the deep sand in between were con-stant. Koch's Raceco, with Mark Bro neau a t the h elm, still led the pack by a b out three minutes. Julson was holding second, and Rag-land was just seconds behind him. Dan Cornwell lost time looking for gas.

Parnelli ar-rived just three minutes in arrears in a jovial mood. Shoppe with a balky trans, struggled home third, and all three trucks were bat-tered and bashed. Looking even more like a survivor of a destruction derby, Walker Evans and Dodge arrived in fourth with Frank Vessels along seven minutes later on the charts, followed by Stan Gilbert. The trucks sure did a lot of paint swapping on the course, but maybe it helps the body shop busi-ness.

Sergio Duron still had problems but he finished well on time in third spot. Class 11 just won't go away south of the border! Of the nine Beetles that started, only two hailed from the USA. And it was many time winners Sergio and Porfirio Gutierrez who led each leg by increasing margins and easily won Class 11, finishing a fine 48th overall. The only other Beetle that finished was driven by Ramon Castro and Santiago Vega, close to two hours b ehind. Others were quick in certain areas, but only three made it through the deep stuff to Check 5. There Howard and Oley Henderson did not have enough time left to get an official finish.

However, ever since the first Mexicali 300 race, cars have been running out of gas on this course, but many teams just do not remember that from year to year. One driver who did remember, and won Class 10, was Jim Dyer. Dyer was-surprised to find he was first to the fin-ish line, because he stopped often for gas and figured it cost him too much time.

California Rally series Banquet By Jon Rood & SameerParekh Photos: Motorsports Memories CRS GT Class Awards went to: (I tor) Dennis Chizma,-Jeff Debrule, Mike Moyer, Chris Wilson, Martin Olumeri, Nick Hudson and Eric Olsen. Another great California Rally Series banquet has come and gone, a gathering of great friends to look back on the past year's excitement. The weather, drizzly and rainy, didn't seem to hinder anyone's spirits. _ _ The location for this year's banquet was Maggie's Pub in Santa Fe Springs, California, a great place to get a large group of friends together for drinks and a great tasting buf-fet. The buffet seemed to have something for everyone, pas-tas, salads, fish, shrimp, tur-key, roast beef, etc., then end-ing with a selection of des-serts, thanks for the wonder-ful food. The only thing I was disappointed about was the lack of post-partying. The CRS is famous for post-rally parties, why would this be any different? It's because most people live fairly close by, I guess. I live in Phoenix, so I was in no hurry to go any-where that night. Paula Gibeault got the night going with a history les-son. What a great story of "The Meeting", 31 years ago, at her wedding reception. This is where the CRS was con-ceived of and later put into the works. A common inter-est, to drive road cars on dirt and gravel roads as fast as you can or want; what could be more fun? While the guys were setting up for a game of rally trivia, Dick Moser entertained every-one with a story of meeting the CRS Director, Tony Chavez, some ten years ago in Peru. Everyone had stopped to listen to this great story about going hunting for a rac-coon type animal with Tony and his best dog "Old Blue·". To make a long story short, it ends with 'Tony hanging from a tree branch with him yelling down to shoot the dog, "SHOOT Old Blue!!!" Some of you may have heard a similar tale; I know I've seen it in emails once or twice. The awards are what we were really· there for, to award the hard work, time, money, sweat, and maybe even a few tears that we all put into this sport. Jon Rood, 2004 Rookie of the Year, passed on his torch to Blake Yoon, the 2005 Rookie of the Year. In order to reward newcomers to the sport, the California Rally Se-ries presents a Rookie of the Year award, to the driver who started the year as a Seed 8 driver (having never com-pleted a rally) and finishing with the best standing among all other rookies. The Rookie co-driver award goes to the first co-driver who earned the Performance Stock Class Award winners were: (I to r) Mike Taylor, most points with the winning rookie driver. In 2005 the awards went to Blake Yoon, who also placed first in the Open 4WD driver champion-ship, and Vartan Davtyan. Yoon commented on his first year rallying, "It took me a year to rea1ize l10w equally important the co-driver, equipment ;i.nd driver com-mitment and skill are to each other. All three need to be in total harmony with each other for a rally vehicle to reach its peak potential. I'm going to keep working hard to see if I can accomplish this. I'm espe-cially excited that I now have seasoned co-drivers like Chris-sie (Beavis) and Nathalie (Ri-chard) who want to go for a ride with me." The Kenneth Zimmerman award recognizes the individu-als who have made outstand-ing contributions to the sport of rallying and the California Rally Series. This year Chad DiMarco of Sube Sports pre-sented the award, which hon-ors the sportsmanship and support of Dr. Kenneth Zim-merman, to Michael Taylor, the organizer of the Prescott Forest Rally, who also won the drivers' championship in the Performance Stock class. Upon receiving the award, Taylor said that winning it was "the pinnacle of [his) rally ca-A very happy guy, Blake Yoon was awarded Rookie Of The Year by California Rally Series. reer." He continued, "This is the highest award given by the California Rally Series and it was very humbling to receive it. Having Chad DiMarco, son-in-law of the late Kenneth Zimmerman, present the award also added to the mo-ment." Within the California Rally Series, the stock classes, both Performance Stock and CRS GT, are both known for a spe-cial spirit of helpfulness. The Galal Souki award is pre-sented to the competitor within that class who provides a great example of that spirit. This year the award went to Michael Moyer, who also placed third in the CRS GI drivers' championship. Moyer commented on re-ceiving the award, "Receiving the 2005 Gala! Souki award was a total surprise, as well as a great honor to accept. I love the great competition that the CRS attracts, but the cama-raderie is even better. Some-times you lend a hand to help others out, and other times you're the one in need of as-sistance• it all comes around in the end. It not only makes for a great weekend playing in the dirt, it's good rally karma!" . .., ,, The California Rally ~eries and the rallies that comprise the championship would be nothing without the hard work of the many volunteer workers who manage commu-nications, road closures, con-trol areas, and all the other details of every event. In or-der to demonstrate the community's appreciation of that support, every year an award goes to the most Out-standing, Tenacious, Persever-ing Worker of the Year. This year that worker was Carolyn Reed. The CRS is full of people with many talents, and to rec-ognize the well-rounded among us, the Bill Moure Me-morial Award goes to a co-driver who, like Bill did, con-tributes to rally in many ar-eas, from volunteering, to or-ganizing, to serving on the Board. This year the series chose to honor Tony Chavez with the Bill Moore Memorial Award. Tony Chavez was so sur-prised to win the award that he was speechless at the ban-quet. However, in a later in-terview, he commented on the honor, "I didn't get a chance to meet Bill Moore, but I know many things about him from Ray Hocker and Mike and Paula Gibeault. He was a great [Board) member, and did many things for the CRS; he was also Ray's best friend and co-driver. And while I have never co-driven before, I have been involved [on the Board) for many years, first as Membership Chairman, then as Treasurer, after that both positions together and the last two years as the Director. I have also organized rallies and rally sprints. So I have an idea of what Bill was about, and I couldn't have been more hon-ored than to receive an award for doing things for the orga-nization that represents the sport I love the most." The competition for the championship was solid all year long. In the Open 4WD driver's championship, Doug Chernis managed an early lead, winning both the Seed 9 and Desert Storm rallies, but a DNF at Rim on Saturday put him out of the running for the next two rallies, at which rookie driver Blake Yoon demonstrated his abil-ity to win, taking first place at Treeline, and winning the championship, leaving Doug Chernis in the dust. Chad Davies managed to make a strong showing while Chernis missed those two events, pull-Larry Gross, George Doganis, Tom Smith, Michael Hoche-Mong The Kenneth Zimmerman award was presented to Michael Taylor (r) and Tony Chavez.

The Open 2WD Class Awards went(/ to r) Jennifer Imai, Cable Rhodes, Jeff Rados, Guido Hamacher, Lisa Klassen, Pamela Wyatt and Marco Pasten. The Bill Moore Memorial Award was presented to a slightly Mike Moyer, the recipient of the Gala/ Souki Award was eloquent in ing slightly ahead in the points, but once Chernis was back in it, he managed to maintain second place, leaving Davies to take third place for the year. Victor Kuhns only managed a finish on Friday at Rim and at Prescott, but still managed to score himself a fourth place trophy. On winning the champion-ship, Yoon said, "I am work-ing towards and striving for that Zen balance between nearly complete car control and maximum speed poten-tial. I don't know if I will ever achieve this, but this is my goal. I think I'm less interested in a winning 'strategy' than with pushing my limits in how fast I can run each and every stage. n In the Open 4WD co-driver championship, Alan Perry maintained the first place po-sition through the year, con-sistently co-driving for Doug Chernis, while John Dillon pulled up behind ~im in sec-ond place. Chrissie Beavis managed an excellent perfor-mance, coming in first place at every rally she finished, but unfortunately her start later in the year at Prescott left her in a third place finish for the championship. Jeff Dubrule and Piers O'Hanlon managed to perform well enough at the few rallies they entered to give them the fourth and fifth place trophies respectively. The winners of the Open 2WD championship started their battle at Rim. After Rim both Cable Rhodes had a very slim lead over Jeff Rados, but Cable's strong first place fin-ishes at Prescott gave him a significant lead. Rados' wins at Ramada was not enough to win him the championship, and he won the second place trophy while Rhodes stayed in first place. Lisa Klassen proved that solid consistent driving pays off. She missed only one rally and landed herself a third place trophy. Roger Hull and Marco Pasten fin-ished the season off with fourth and fifth place tro-phies, respectively. Among co-drivers in Open 2WD there was less drama. Jennifer Imai opened up the season strong and maintained a lead throughout the season, only being threatened at Rim, when Kala Rounds began to threaten her pos1t1on. Rounds, however, took the summer off and only came back for Ramada, leaving her in position three overall, leav-ing the championship to Imai and second place to Guido Hamacher, who didn't have Dusty Times overwhelmed Tony Chavez. his acceptance speech. much luck when he started the awards, passing the torch to season at Treeline and Gor-this year's Performance Stock man, but his solid showing at champion, Michael Taylor.

Imai was impressed with the California Rally Series com-munity, saying, "It's no sur-prise that I like rallying since it combines my two greatest loves: cars and outdooring. The surprise was the wonder-ful people I've met; I never ex-pected to receive so much sup-port in a competitive motors port." In the CRS GT class, Chris Wilson took the lead from Mike Moyer at Rim of the World and held it through the rest of the season, winning the driver's championship. Moyer then lost second place as he didn't finish at either the sec-ond day of Rim or the next event at Gorman, while Nick Hudson pulled into second place with a strong finish at both events, maintaining the position for the rest of the year. Moyer finished the sea-son in third place while Den-nis Chizma won the fourth place trophy. Among CRS GT co-drivers, Eric Olson stayed in the right seat with Mike Moyer through the season and won the cham-pionship. Martin Plumeri al-most lost his second place po-sition when Jeff Dubrule fin-ished very well at Gorman and Prescott, but he held on, win-ning second place for the year, while Dubrule received a third place trophy to hang up next to the trophy he won in the Open 4WD class. Maria Boyd finished off the season in fourth place. • Finally in the Performance Stock category, Terry Stonecipher filled in for Mike Masano to hand out the ship. Larry Gross kept the pressure on, however, and fin-ished the year in second place just behind Taylor. George Doganis and Doug Robinson won third and fourth place respectively. -And finally, although he rolled spectacularly the sec-ond day at Ramada, Michel Hoche-Mong ended the season with the fifth place trophy. Taylor was proud to win what he called "the most com-petitive class in the cRS." He said, "winning the champion-ship with my son Steven co-driving was great. Knowing that we weren't the fastest car in the field, we tried to be smart and steady and finish every event. Competing against the likes of Tony Chavez, Doug Robinson, George Doga•ni~, Tom Smith; Tim and Dick Moser, Larry Gross, and all the others in P-Stock really made last year memorable." Among co-drivers, Steven Taylor, co-driving for his fa-ther, won the co-driver cham-pionship in Performance Stock handily. Again mirror-ing the results among drivers, Tom Smith kept up the pres-sure and finished the season in second place. Bret Robinson and Sameer Parekh won the third and fourth place awards. Post-banquet news was re-ceived that a great friend to us all, Pat Brown, wife and co-driver of Bruce Brown passed away that weekend. Our best wishes and love go out to Bruce and the entire Brown family, we all will miss her.

-rt>~ l\JA] USA By Mr. Baja Hello racers and fans alike! March has been a busy month arid there is a lot to talk about. Settle back and put your feet up. Starting out is the pre run for the San Felipe 250. Baja Pits President Carlos Orozco and Bike/Quad Director Stephen "Steny" Stenberg came up with the idea to run a "Pre Run Support Pit'" for all rac-ers alike prior to the running of the San Felipe 250. We adver-tised 2 weekends prior to the race at Race Mile 130. That was the location of Pit # 3 for us. Baja Huskys agreed to come out and help us. As it turned out, just Satur-days worked out better. Carlos ran both Saturdays himself, set-ting up around 9 am both Sat-urdays with some helpers. He set up the pit, broke out the cool-ers filled with water and soda and set up his grill. He pro-ceeded to grill up food and talk to racers alike for both days. Guys could leave there trucks and trailers with him for safe keeping or just drop off fuel for pre running the lower section. Many racers stopped by and chatted. Some even donated money to Baja Pits. Since Baja Pits is a registered non-profit in Mexico, all donations go to help-ing the team provide better ser-Page 48 vice to its members. Baja Pit' was there from 9 am to 6 pm on the first Saturday waiting for Jessica McCleary's quad to come back in. The sec-ond Saturday he was there from 9 am to 5 pm. It was such a huge success, that we will he down Again for the Baja 500, doing the same thing on that race course. For that race, Baja Pits and Baja Huskys will be teamed up together to provide free pre run support. You don't have to be a member of Baja Pits or Baja Huskys to get this. We both just like supporting racers. Baja Pits, US Wheels and Baja Huskys all shared a tent for the San Felipe 2.50 contingency row. The day was great. There were a lot of racers and fans a like. We met most of you and handed out contingency stickers for US Wheels and Baja Huskys. • And we made sure all Baja Fits vehicles had stickers on them showing there teams colors. We sold special, one off maps of the race course, They were a big hit among everyone, Ken and John were great at selling them out quickly. Steny of Baja Hushys, introduced us to his newest members, Alfredo Contreras,# 3X on a new Husky 510TE out of GP Husqvarna in San Diego That Husky sure looked nice. Glad to see Husqvarnas back in Baja again racing! Another first for Baja Pits was positioning two of our guys at the start/finish line. We hear quit often that racers at the start lice sometimes forget where they are going or what they are looking for on a pit level. So, we put out our Motorcycle and Quad Director, Stephen Stenberg, along with photogra-pher John Davidson to walk the line and speak to every Baja Pits racer, before they left the start-ing line. We took their pictures for our web site and answered any last minute questions about the pit locutions or the race course in general. It was a good gesture and received well by all our racers. Since no racer had ever seen a pit rep in line before, Stephen was mistaken for a Score official, Look for up-to-date start-info at all future Score events. All but one each of the Baja Pits Race Team, in the bike and vehicle starts, got off the line successfully. The Race was on, complete with rain showers dust and desert heat!

BFGaadricti ----------•TIT!S Report BFGoodrich @ Tires Launches Outstanding Trails Program LOS ANGELES -April 5, 2006 -Maker of the "World's Toughest Off-Road Tires," BF-Dusty Times Goodrich® Tires, in conjunc-tion with Tread Lightly and United Four Wheel Drive Asso-ciations (UFWDA), announced today the launch of its Out-standing Trails program. The Outstanding Trails program highlights some of the best off-road trails in the country and is dedicated to the responsible use and preservation of these off-road trails and will aid in the conservation efforts, "Last year, more than 50 mil-lion people sought adventure through recreational off-road driving; the sport is exploding in popularity," said Kaz Holtey, brand director for BFGoodrich Tires, "Each one of the trails highlighted in this program is amazing, and embodies the very best in off-roading. BFGoodrich Tires and these Outstanding Trails are very similar in nature -both are tough and both are fun to drive on. The program identifies five of North America's best trails. From desolate desert stretches to towering peaks and rolling hillsides, these trails are unique in toughness and beauty, After a careful selection pro-cess, five of North America's "outstanding" off-road trails were nominated for uniqueness, terrain type and enthusiast fol-lowing. Black Bear Pass, near Ouray, Colorado, is a pictur-esque trail nestled in the San Juan Mountains. Pyeatt Draw, a scenic and exciting trail situ-ated in Payson, Arizona. Hell's Revenge, with its slick sandstone slopes brings adventure to thrill seekers in Moab, Utah. Historic Macjes Pass, also known the Longmire Wagon Train, takes off road drivers over the Cascade Mountains in Naches, Washington. Last, but not least, Upper Tellico OHV Area, Trail #4, located in the Natahala Nacional Forest, is lo-cated in North Carolina where Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia meet. Both Tread Lig_hV,y and UFWDA are non-profit organizations dedicated to responsible and ethical out-door recreation BFGoodrich Tires collaborated with these two groups to select the finest North American trails, and will continue to work with these or-ganizations on restoration and education initiatives. As a part of the program, which runs from May through October, BFGoodrich Tires will host several events at designated trails to highlight the unique-ness of each location as well as to educate off roaders on the responsible use of each trail, BF-Goodrich Tires will also give a grant to a selected offroad club to help with the costs associated with the trait's conservation. Tread Lightly!-is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower genera-tions to enjoy the outdoors re-sponsibly. Tread Lightly!

Our guys produced May 2006 six finishers at this race, but no winners. Rich 'Stretch' Severson, last year's 'Driver of the Year', had our best finish with a third in Class 7SX. Pro-spective Mark Growe was next with a fourth in his Sportsman truck, followed by Milo Brown's 7SX truck in fifth. Then came Prospective Vic Bruckmann with a sixth in Class 12, and both Bobby McCall and Prospective Ray Files with 11th places in Classes 12 and 1/2-1600 respec-tively. Our DNFs included Billy Robertson, who was running strong until he blew a ring and pinion. Jimmy Tucker and Tom Koch, in Tucker's Class 1 buggy, went out early with power steer-ing problems. Strange, because they had the same problem the day before the race and changed out the whole unit. Tucker was equipped with the IriTrack sat-ellite tracking system. It auto-matically sent a "stop" alert when he stopped. It then auto-matically sent an "inclination" alert when the car went over the 45 degree level. Probably when it was being put on the trailer. He got a call on the IriTrack box from operations checking to see if he was okay. He an-swered the call and confirmed that all was fine, except the car was done for the day. Prospec-tive member Craig Brabant and Jim Greenway both went out in their 12 cars with unknown problems. Our Checker pits were handled by the following Pit Captains: Pit # 1 -George Jirka, #2 -Marke Nacke, #3 -Ed Jahn, #4 - Big John Files, #5 -Rev. Roy Moore and our Checker radio relay by Jorge Espino. CLAM BAKE -A number of Checkers have places at Pete's Camp, a little north of San Fe-lipe and started putting on an annual Clam Bake before every SCORE San Felipe race. It started out small, with just a relatively small number of Checkers down for the race get-ting together to pig out and party ... but it quickly grew! Lo-cos Mocos got involved to help put it on a while back, and the word spread that the party was also open to non-Checkers. This year about 200 race related folks stopped by to enjoy all the various foods and the fun, and reportedly a good time was had by all. MORE.250 -Seven Checker buggies ran this Barstow race, and not one of them had any luck at all. This is surprising, as the Club generally does very well at our favorite local promoter's races. A typically rough 49 mile Barstow course took a toll on everybody at this event. With Brian Potts finishing way back with his 1/2-1600 car, surpris-ingly Tom Dittfield's DNF ef-fort was our highlight of this race. With over 45 Class 9 cars showing up, Tom had his Class 9 ride running a solid sixth ten miles from the checkered flag ... when he broke a torsion bar. Our other DN Fs were as fol-lows: Mike McGee broke the front end in his 10 car; Randy Spar had the motor go tits up shortly after he got into Craig Dillon's 10 car; Dan Martin had the front end go south in his Class 10 ride; Victor Bussey also went out with front end dam-age in his Class 1/2-1600 car; and Mike Wright DNFed when another car his his Class 5 car in a rear corner tearing up the axle, c.v., hub, etc., etc. The Pit Captains at this cold weathered race were Ed Jahn at Main, B.J. Bates at Pit# 1, John Files at Pit #2, The Velascos at Pit #3, and Dwight Forell at Pit #4. WANT TO BE A CHECKER? -The car Check-ers meet EVERY Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. in North Hollywood at a nice Italian res-taurant. Victorio's Pizza is lo-cated at 10901 Victory Blvd., between the 5 and 170 freeways, and if ya get lost their phone # is 1-818-762-9000. We are made up of a group of men who race desert vehicles and/ or provide support for our Club Brothers, with more than half of them doing both depending on their schedule and condition of their race car. Membership is easy if you're a decent guy who loves the sport of off road racing and good fellowship. But it will take you over six months to become a full member because we just don't vote everyone in who ap-plies. There is a six month 'Pro-spective Member' period where you'll be judged by the other members on your actions and activity on whether or not you are actually 'Checker mate-rial' ... and then you 'II have to face the dreaded black and white marble vote. If you're in-terested and would like some more info, plus a copy of our Checker By-Laws, just stop by any Wednesday night and intro-duce yourself when the Prez asks "Are there any guests?". Between the bike Checkers and the car Checkers, we have over 85 years of desert racin' experience, and that's why this Big Wahzoo can clearly state without any hesita-tion: "The Checkers are the win-ningest name in the history of desert racing!" Speaking of new Checker members, both Chad and Josh Hall, factory HUM-MER drivers, were recently voted into our Club as full mem-bers. Congratulations, guys! ALEX LONG DIES -Alex was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor deep inside his chest and died in mid March. The Check-ers participated in a blood drive and his doctors did all they could to try to save him, but we failed. 'Alex Joseph Long', a robust and good natured man, unexpectedly was struck down in his prime without any unforeseeable rea-son. I first met Alex years ago when he became a Prospective member, although I missed that meeting when he was voted in as a full member. But I 'really' got to know him at the next Club race where I stepped on my 'johnson' big time. Out at a pit, where I had to park a broken race car, I Continued on page 50 Page 49 -

Afrer some serious backsrroking and apolo-gizing ro keep my ass from getting ground into the desert floor, Alex tossed me a cold beer and we proceeded to sit down and truly become Brother Checkers. Alex had been in the car Check-ers for almost 15 years, and be-fore that he raced desert motor-cycle events with the Viking's MC. Alex Long is survived by his fa-ther Al, a long time Checker, and his mother Barbara. Other close family members mourning his passing are his two sisters, Alisa and Allison, along with three nephews and three nieces. All of the Checkers sincerely feel their loss. Alex was a good friend to most every member in the Check-ers, and a respected Club Brother to us all! We'll miss ya, Alex! r4etlt; By Lisa Kennedy SCORE San Felipe 250 SCORE's Tecate San Felipe 250, on March 11, 2006, saw seven FAIR racers and crews at the start line. Chris Bowman's 500 car had a good test the day before the race, but come race day their luck had changed. While warming up the car for the race Chris noticed a very pronounced miss in the engine. They tried to quickly trouble shoot, but had to start the race on the hopes that maybe the engine would clear it-self. Jerry Longo, driving, and Johnny Brockway, co-driving, set out on the course hoping to make it around. After five hours of rac-ing, Jerry brought the car into FAIR Pit B for a driver's change, and Jerry let Chris know that the car was running on only three cylinders. To their advantage, Leonard of Mailman Motors was also at this pit, and he offered to help them figure out the prob-lem. After several attempts at rec-tifying the problem, they re,alized that the number four cylinder was dead, and they decided to throw in the towel for this race. Even with the DNF, they did manage a third place finish for the race. Other FAIR racers finished as follows: Chuck Sacks, in 1202 finished 10th; Brian Parkhouse, in 116, finished 19th; Myan Spaccarelli, in 1637, finished 27th; Rick Boyer, in 1622, fin-ished 32nd; Brent Parkhouse, in 1603, and Curt Geer, in 1629, both were unable to complete the first lap and finished 35th. MORE Balls Out 250 March 18th was a cold and blustery day, but that didn't keep any of the racers away. Whar a turn out Jim had at the MORE Balls Out 250! 136 racers in all, with 21 of those racers belonging Page so to FAIR, and rhree of those mem-bers finishing the race in first place. Curt Geer driving in 1/2-1600, Ken and Shelby Tolbert in 5-1600, and Greg Crew in 1300 all finished the race victorious. The 9 class cars were the talk of this race, with 46 cars running in this class alone. This made for an interesting first few laps as the cars jockeyed for position. Harry and Christopher Dunne were able to pull out a ninth place fin-ish even afrer they had a roll-over just past Slash X. Harry started out the race with co-driver Jody Ouisen and had some excitement with cars three wide at some parts of the course. Christopher and his brnther Bill, got in the car for the second half of the race, and it was just shorrly afrer Christo-pher took over that they were hit by another car and the 914 rolled. The car that hit them stopped to make sure they were okay, helped them get rolled back over, and then they were back out on the course to finish the race. The re-mainder of the race went smoothly for them, with no flats or other problems, and they en-joyed the rest of the ride. Also driving in 9 class were Ron Rash and Cody Rash, who finished 13th and 28th respectively. Marcus Gonzales, new to FAIR and MORE, had some problems as well, rolling the car and having transmission problems before calling it a day, but still managed to finish 26th. Rob MacDonald and Frank Wagner once again had their day slowed way down with ball joint problems, and they ended the day in 35th place. Also newcomers to the 9 class, Matt Summers and Erick Clark, pur-chased their car jusr eight weeks prior to the race and completely reworked the car. Unfortunately, their troubles began the day be-fore the race, while pre-running the transmission broke. Thanks to a lot of help from friends and fellow racers they were able to get a new tranny in place just in time to start the race. They were doing well until they came up on an-other vehicle and not realizing how slowly it was moving, they hit the skids and ended up off the track. They suffered a right rear flat, a broken mid mount, and a hole in the push rod tube. After limping back to start/finish they decided they had enough and called it a day, but not before earning the spot at 43rd. Curt Geer, as previously men-tioned, was able to pull out an-other exciting victory in the 1/2-1600 class in the MORE series, taking his second consecutive win for the year. He stopped at Pit A once for fuel and later for a tire change, and other than manag-ing to injure his hand during the race, had a relatively uneventful day before taking the checkered flag. Myan Spaccarelli, driving 1637, finished his first MORE race in fifth place. Just behind him, racing 1679, was Mike Ka-nuch in sixth place, and Ron Weddle, in 1603, finished the race in 13th. Ken and Shelby Tolbert cel-ebrated their second triumph of the year in the KST 568 "Bling Mobile". Ken drove the first half of the race and stated , "It was the most intense race l 've had so far. I can honestly say I've never been so ready to get out of the car". With that, he handed the car over to Billy Worthing to drive the last half and bring the car in for the win. They had some difficulties with the car before the race began and wish to thank all the FAIR members for their as-sistance in getting the car race ready. Angel Vinaja, driving 585, finished the race in eighth place. Greg Crew in the Lucas Oil 1302 had a good day and came away with a first place finish. Greg's daughter, Melissa, rode in the car for the first two laps to celebrate her 20th birthday. They came into FAIR Main for fuel and a co-driver change after the second lap. They were in and out of the pit in less than one minute. Way to go FAIR!! Greg was back out in the race with his son Brian, along for the ride. They were go-ing along well until about 3/4 of a mile from FAIR Pit B when they hit a rock with the right front tire and got a flat. They pulled into FAIR Pit Band had another great pit stop. Tom Reynolds and crew changed the tire quickly and they were back out on the road to their victory. Greg thanks their crew, FAIR, and MORE for a great event. Chris Bowman had just re-turned from the San Felipe 250, but was ready to. race car 500 with co-driver Jerry Longo. Their day got off to a slow start when Jerry lost a c.v. at mile 3.5. Afrer searching for the car for over an hour, Chris and Johnny Brockway were able to fix the car and get Jerry back on his way. Jerry came into the pits after the second lap and Chris and Johnny took their place in the car to fin-ish out the race. They raced at a quick pace until they suffered two rear flats, one which they were able to change themselves with their spare, and the other was changed by FAIR members Kevin Martin and Tom Moxley. This enabled them to get back into the race, but unfortunately these flats kept them just out of sec-ond place, seeing them to a finish third on the podium. Racing in Class 10 Unlimited, Ryan Harbottle drove 1060 in for a third place finish, and Matt Cullen driving the F&L Fuel 1205, ended the race in eighth. Jennifer Clemison had some difficulties during the day in her Pink Damzl 132, but was able to bring it around for a sixth place finish. Tony started the race and was approximately half way through the first lap when the power steering pump let go and power steering oil shot all over him and his co-driver. They also suffered two flat tires before com-ing in to pit after the first lap. At the pit they changed the power steering pump, and welded the lower front arm which had sheered in half. Tony finished the second lap and then handed the car over to Jennifer, but not be-fore telling her that "the car is falling apart." Jennifer then drove the rest of the race, stopping for fuel afrer the fourth lap and then was able to bring the car in for the finish. Class 1450 has two FAIR members in the hunt for the top of the podium. Though not reaching the top, Eric Fiorino did find a place on the podium fin-ishing third in 1488. Giti Gow-land finished behind Eric in fourth, afrer having a bit of a struggle behind the wheel. Giti wasn't feeling well before the start of the race, and was hoping to be May 2006 able to hang in to finish out the race, but this wasn'r robe his day. He made ir as far as mile marker 42 when he decided he could go no further. He pulled into the FAIR Pit and Dan Larson rook the wheel. They were able to do the driver's change, fuel the car, and get back out on the road in a litrle over one minute. Dan was able to make it as far as mile marker 23 during the second lap when the transmission decided they would be done for the day. Giti would like to thank Trail Ready Beadlocks, Mickey Th-ompson Tires, Sign-Pros, Dan Larson, Stretch, and FAIR for the outstanding pit support. MOR Mojave 250 It was another cold and rainy day in the desert for the Mojave 250 on April Fool's Day. FAIR members braved the weather as three FAIR racers competed for victory. Giti Gowland, racing his Jeep Speed in Class 300, came away with a first place finish,. Dan Larson drove the first half of the race with no major prob-lems. At the end of Lap 2 they did a driver's change, fueled the truck, and Giti was out on the course to complete the race. Part of the way through the third lap his Jeep stalled and didn't want to restart. He was finally able to get it going again, but it contin-ued to miss, back fire and stall. They were able to limp it around for the last one and a half laps to gain the win. Art Savedra and his crew man-aged a second place finish in Class 500, and Craig Reynolds, driv-ing in 1450 class, finished 10th. Craig had a great start to the race and was first on the course after rwo laps. Unfortunately, at Mile 18 on the third lap, several large cracks on the bed cage caused the fuel cell to come loose. FAIR members Keith and Kevin Mar-tin, along with the Giant Motorsports Crew, and Greg Gagnon came to the rescue weld-ing the truck and using ratchet straps to hold everything to-gether. They made it ano.tb,i:.r 11 miles to Inner Hodge where Uncle Bob and Matt Frick added more ratchet straps so Craig was able to finish the race. FAIR HIGHLIGHT: Dave Massingham (2006 FAIR President) Dave started out racing in 1965 at Orange Speedway Short Track, racing motorcycles every Wednesday nighr. At that time he was riding a Yamaha 80cc, spon-sored by Buena Park Yamaha. Dave continued racing motor-cycles from 1965 through 1977. He raced at Orange Ascott TT, Elsinore GP, OCMC Great Bear GP, and District 37 desert Hare and hound Scrambles. He is a member of Gripsters, who origi-nated the Elsinore GP, and a member of the Desert Rats Mo-torcycle Club. Dave began racing cars in 1978 with Jack Jory and Danny Wiseman. He rode with Jack in a Class 2 Funco that Jack pur-chased from Gene Hatz. Their first race was the HORA Sham-rock 350 in Henderson, NV. In October of 1979, Jack bought a new Chenowth Class 2 which Dave rode in for that year, and then began driving for Jack in half the races after thar. They raced all the HORA and SCORE races. In 1983, Jack quit racing and then Dave began racing 5-1600 with Larry Rickman in rhe AMSA series out of Fresno. Later Larry Rickman and Bryan Rodgers bought a Class 1/2-1600 two sear car, and they began racing in the SCORE races, the Parker 400, the Mint 400, and the Barstow Fireworks 250. In 1990, Dave began driving with Brian Park-house in his two seat 1/2-1600 class car in the HORA and SCORE races.

Aftermarket Exhaust Industry Leaders, US Forest Service, and AMA Pro Racing Discuss Sound Rules and Compliance Testing Procedures. BAKERSFIELD, CA (March 15, 2006.) The Off-Road Busi-ness Association (ORBA) con-vened the second "Turn Down the Volume" meeting with the af-termarket exhaust industry to discuss how to best deal with re-ducing excessive off-highway mo-torcycle and ATV sound. Key-note speakers included American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) Pro Racing SX/MX Manager Steve Whitelock and Ralph Gonzales, US Fore-st Service spark arrestor certification lead. The meeting was attended by rep-resentatives of almost all of the aftermarket exhaust companies, as well as the Motorcycle Indus-try Council, Kawasaki, Califor-nia State Parks OHV Division, and AMA District 36. Steve Whitelock discussed new AMA Pro Racing sound rules for rhe '07 racing season ar rheir compliance testing pro-gram. Currenr rules allow 102db for Pro MX/SX racing, but thar Dusty Times

number will be reduced to 99db in '07, which will make the Pro rule consistent with the AMA Amateur MX sound rule. Addi-tionally, Whitlock discussed the sound rule compliance testing program that has been stepped up this year. The old consensus of the group W&q that fair and con-sistent enforcement of AMA sound rules for both profes-sional and amateur racing would be one of the most productive measures available to reduce ex-cessive sound. The aftermarket exhaust companies also agreed they would like to see an inde-pendent testing process for Pro SX and MX to ensure fair and consistent compliance enforce-ment as well as more transpar-ent test procedure to eliminate any perception of inconsistency. Besides new AMA sound rules, the Chief of the US Forest Service recently announced that they will be promulgating a na-tional off-highway vehicle (OHV) sound rule in the near future. Ralph Conzalez of the US For-est Service San Dimas Technol-ogy and Development Center talked about the current spark arrestor certification program that all exhaust systems designed for public land use must be sub-jected to. He also talked about the potential for sound level cer-tification once the Forest Service implements a national OHV sound rule. From the forest service per-_spective, excessive sound is one of the most critical issues faced when doing OHV planning and management. The Chief of the Forest Service recognizes these-riousness of the issue, due to the large number of times excessive OHV sound is cited by the pub-lic. Currently, all spark arrestors must be certified by the US For-est Service, and it would be logi-cal for the same agency ro also certify muftlers for sound com-pliance once the sound rule is fi-nalized. The ORBA Board of Direc-tors recognizes that reducing ex-cessive OHV sound is a critical component of preserving and enhancing OHV recreation for everyone as well as ensuring the OHV industry remains strong. Accordingly, the Board has di-rected ORBA staff to look at various ways to reduce exce-gsive OHV sound. ORBA Director of Land Use, Bill Dart stated "We are exploring a variety of ways to reduce excessive OHV sound, and we feel that engaging the af-termarket exhaust industry as well as the competition organi-zations and governtment agen-cies that regulate OHV's is a criti-cal component in that effort". Dart continued "fair and con-sistent sound compliance pro-grams are one of the most im-portant ways to reduce excessive sound, but ORBA is also work-ing with enthusiasts and trade media to change the perception that loud pipes mean more power" Dart concluded. ORBA RELOCATES TO BAKERSFIELD,CA BAKERSFIELD, CA.

IT REQUIRES RESIDENTS TO OBTAIN A PERMIT, MINIMUM ACREAGES, ' 1111'111&.•lflllll!!!!!! SHOCK ..... W/1.,,_,ffiCHNOI.OGY 714.530.8701 • FAX714.53o.B702 12842 JOY STREET, GARDEN GROVE, CA 92840 :,_ W'tNIIV.Jci-con, Dusty Times May 2006 LARGE SETBACKS AND A SEVERLY URrEv RII)ING PERIOD. BAKERSFIELD, CA (March 16, 2006) -After the last Board of Supervisors meeting on January 20', it comes as no sur-prise that Ri-verside County pro-poses an extremely restrictive ordinance that, when coupled with their sound ordinance, ef-fectively bans OHV use on all private property in Riverside County. Some of the highlights of the county's latest offering to their residents are: any property owner wanting to ride on their own property must obtain a permit from the county and pay the fee associated with that per-mit which is not specified in the draft ordinance, a riding period that restricts OHV use from 12pm to 5pm, and no riding on parcels less than 10 acres unless notarized permission is ob-tained from all contiguous property owners. Along with permit and acreage rules you must have a 100 foot setback from your property line and a 250 foot setback from any resi-dence located on an adjacent parcel. The Off-Road Business Asso-ciation (ORBA), the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), Ecologic, the McGrath family, and many Riverside County property owners have spent a considerable amount of time as-sisting the county in crafting an ordinance that is fair to both oft" -rcraders in the county and 2.5" -•P €''!!!£~ residents who have valid com-plaints. "It is becoming obvious to the off-Road community that the County of Riverside has de-cided to create an ordinance that discriminates against people who choose to recreate on QHV's in responsible manner on their own property", said Meg Grossglasa of ORBA. Jack McGrath stated "I just can't believe the Supervisors would waste our time and our attorney's time telling us they want an ordinance fair to all resi-dents and then come out with both an OHV and noise ordi-nance which so obviously dis-criminates against OHV use. There are so many exemptions in the noise ordinance it is hard m believe this ordinance was not specifically written to restrict OHV use. We are taking a seri-ous took at litigating on both of these issues". McGrath also said "the time has come for the off-road community to stand up and let their voices be heard. Attend the Supervisors meeting on March 28th and show them how many families they are going to adversely affect. If they choose not to listen then, we as resident can choose differently when it is time to vote". ORBA the AMA, Ecologic and the McGrath family will con-tinue to work with the County Board of Supervisors to dev.elop a fair and reasonable OHV ordi-nance. Our hope is that the Su-pervisors will respond to our le-gitimate concerns and rectify the situation so as to be fair to all residents in the county. Need coil springs? Cati King Shocks!
